Ludwika Szczesna was born on July 18, 1863

in Cieszki in the Diocese of Plock, Poland,

the fourth of six children born to Antony and Franciszka Szczesni.

Her mother died when Ludwika was only 12 years old. Already at

a young age, Ludwika decided to give her life totally to God.

I fall at your feet, Lord Jesus and I entrust these Servants

to your Heart. 

Vivify them with your love, and give them

a true religious spirit; 

bless their work, increase their number. 

I give this group

to your Heart. 

Let them live according to these words :

Glory Be To the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus.  Amen.

Excerpt from Homily at the Founding of our Congregation

- St Joseph Sebastian

Saint Joseph Sebastian lived a life

that was faithful and truly rich.

It was a constant and determined striving
to become another Christ.

His life was a life of prayer, work, and knowledge.
